Poolside dining was never meant to be fancy. It’s often more about getting something in your stomach as you down a margarita or two. Burgers, fries, and chicken fingers have all been common poolside food staples for years but some Las Vegas resort and dayclub kitchens are offering a bit more — with sushi rolls, oysters, duck tacos, and healthy wraps. Here’s what to expect at pool menus across Las Vegas.

The pool at JW Marriot Las Vegas

Copy Link

Dig into a chipotle chicken taco salad — or swap chicken for grilled steak — while shaded by palm trees at the Summerlin-based JW Marriott pool. The tropical resort, which features a flowing waterfall, also serves up a bunch of sandwiches, burgers, and wraps, including a seared mahi mahi sandwich nestled in a brioche bun and topped with pickled red onion and herb aioli.

Admission: $22
Cabanas: start at $265

Stadium Swim

Copy Link

With its massive 143-foot video screen, Circa’s multi-level Stadium Swim complex is ideal for sports lovers who want to stay cool while watching their favorite team. Think of this as upscale tailgating kicking off with mahi mahi tacos and fish and chips. For groups, shredded brisket nachos and sliders by the dozen (beef or Impossible patty) can all be ordered by the platter, which serves six. As can lobster corn dogs, a crispy cornbread-battered lobster tail served with lemon aioli that is ideal pool food.

Admission: usually $10 to $50
Daybeds: start at $200

Red Rock Pool

The Greek bento box, shrimp and avocado salad, and buffalo cauliflower wrap at Red Rock Resort and Spa in Summerlin are certainly healthier options, but the star of the show is the Mega Dole Whip Sundae. This sweet dream contains pineapple and strawberry Dole Whip, berry compote, chopped pineapple, and whipped cream married together and served in a fresh pineapple boat. Top it off (if you choose) with a Mount Gay Black Barrel Rum float.

Admission: $30 to $40
Daybeds: start at $100

Admission: starts at $40

Encore Beach Club

Copy Link

VIP guests at Encore Beach Club at Wynn Las Vegas with a cabana, bungalow, couch, or daybed reservation have an elite menu to choose from. The caviar push-pops (served by the dozen) are as fun as they are delicious, featuring four premium caviars with layers of shallot crème fresh and chive cornet. For those looking to splurge, other high-end offerings include a chargrilled tomahawk steak served with frites, grilled spiny lobster, and a shellfish platter overflowing with crab legs, snow crab cocktail claws, jumbo shrimp, and Maine lobster. 

Admission: starts at $30

Tao Beach Dayclub

Copy Link

Reinvented with a tropical theme and signature Daniel Popper Tendai art piece, Tao Beach at the Venetian Resort has one of the most extensive pool menus in Las Vegas. The assortment of Asian-influenced dishes is open to anyone who pays dayclub admission and includes sushi platters and specialty rolls, oysters on the half shell, kalbi steak burritos, a Peking duck melt, and a lobster roll with cabbage, mango, and Thai mayo. There are also more than a dozen shared plates with items like crispy rock shrimp tacos and a crab rangoon dip (with or without caviar).

The Virgin Hotels Las Vegas pool offers a lot of your standard snacks like breakfast burritos, plant-based Impossible burgers, and BBQ chicken wings. Our advice for a poolside meal is to walk to the adjacent Kassi Beach House. Sit on the patio and start with the tender grilled octopus appetizer or the wagyu meatballs with a caper salsa. Then move on to the decadent truffle pizza or tuck into a pasta dish like the squid ink pasta with Dungeness crab served with tomato butter and lemon.
